CERT : Certificate record ( RFC 4398)

|
AXFR : Full Zone Transfer ( RFC 1035)

CNAME : Canonical name record ( RFC 1035)
Alias of one name to another: the DNS lookup will continue by retrying the lookup with the new name. |
NS : name server record ( RFC 1035)
Delegates a DNS zone to use the given authoritative name servers |
OPT : Option ( RFC 2671)
This is a 'pseudo DNS record type' needed to support EDNS |
IXFR : Incremental Zone Transfer ( RFC 1995)
Requests a zone transfer of the given zone but only differences from a previous serial number. This request may be ignored and a full (AXFR) sent in response if the authoritative server is unable to fulfill the request due to configuration or lack of required deltas. |
SRV : Service locator ( RFC 2782)
Generalized service location record, used for newer protocols instead of creating protocol-specific records such as MX. |
AFSDB : AFS database record ( RFC 1183)

RRSIG : DNSSEC signature ( RFC 4034)
Signature for a DNSSEC-secured record set. Uses the same format as the SIG record. |
TSIG : Transaction Signature ( RFC 2845)

DHCID : DHCP identifier ( RFC 4701)
Used in conjunction with the FQDN option to DHCP |
DS : Delegation signer ( RFC 4034)
The record used to identify the DNSSEC signing key of a delegated zone |
AAAA : IPv6 address record ( RFC 3596)
Returns a 128-bit IPv6 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host. |
SOA : start of authority record ( RFC 1035)
Specifies authoritative information about a DNS zone, including the primary name server, the email of the domain administrator, the domain serial number, and several timers relating to refreshing the zone. |
TKEY : Transaction Key ( RFC 2930)
One way of providing a key to be used with TSIG |
NSEC3PARAM : NSEC3 parameters ( RFC 5155)
